13 Congressmen subpoenaed in bribery case.

Assistant US Attorney caught trying to meet 5 year old girl for sex. These are the same kind of people Hillary would put in charge of enforcing her tyrannical health care laws. Why would anybody surrender even one iota of freedom to the government? But we do it every day.

British government trying to stop run on banks. Foreclosures soar in August.

Pakistani President Musharraf will resign as head of the military if he is re-elected President.

The IPCC is finally talking about adapting to climate change, which is what we should have been planning to do all along instead of wasting resources trying to counter inevitable climate change.

In a rare sign of sanity, judge throws out spurious lawsuit blaming auto-makers for global warming.

French minister explains that his warning of war with Iran was in hope of averting it. You have to be prepared to go to war to get a peaceful resolution. Iran claims to have 600 missiles that it will fire at Israel if attacked. We should be prepared to take Iranian oil money to repair any damage those missiles cause.

Israel overflies Lebanon to monitor Hezbollah. Israel is preparing its defenses for when we likely strike Iran.

Another sign of hope: Saudi women lobby for the privilege of driving. If Muslim women can lobby to drive, maybe they can also lobby against having their children blow themselves up. If Muslim women assert themselves, it may significantly reduce terrorism.

Man arrested and jailed for 4 days for desecrating the flag. Apparently everybody forgot that it was legal.

Boortz reports that Hugo Chavez is changing the school curriculum to brainwash students into good socialists and threatening to take over any school who refuses to conform.

Reason discusses libertarianism and the family and wonders if civilization would survive freedom. Of course it would. Government tears families apart by taking over the traditional roles of family. Freedom brings them together because family members depend on each other.

Reason discusses protectionism in both parties.

The process of electing Russia's next leader is far more important than the name of the leader.

ACLU creates surveillance society clock.

Mystery illness after meteorite crash. I saw this movie on sci-fi.

Supposedly dead man wakes up during autopsy.

Hillarycare doesn't cover, I mean mandate, anything for illegal immigrants. That makes them the lucky ones. Boortz on Hillarycare. Rich Lowry on Hillarycare 2.0. Washington Post on Hillarycare 2.0. I like that name.

Boortz profiles the head of emergency management for the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation. A typical bureaucrat, she didn't even bother to fly home to coordinate rescue efforts when the Minnesota bridge collapsed.

I have no problem offering amnesty to illegal immigrants who join the military. Maybe we should start a foreign legion. I don't believe for a second that gate crashers who come here to join the military a problem at all. I believe they are a tremendous benefit to the US. If, after we end the economic incentives enticing gate crashers to come to America and finally control our borders, we find out I'm mistaken, I'll change my position.

The decline of civilization: 6 out of 10 Britons would rather die than exercise. This is being portrayed as a physical health story, but in fact it is a societal health story, and Europe is dying from socialism. Socialism destroys families by intruding into family life and taking over the traditional roles families members provide to each other, and as a result, people have less to live for. We're genetically programmed to support our family members and our communities, and the more government breaks down and steals that function, the less reason people have to live and enjoy life.

This explains why I spent so much of my adulthood with much younger and really hot girlfriends. We're genetically programmed to.

George Will shows how old elements of our air force is. We need to upgrade.

Jonah Goldberg wonders at the lengths liberals will go to invent motivations for the Iraq war beyond the stated motivations, and he clarifies Greenspan's comments.

Thomas Sowell reviews a book that explains that our greatest failure in Iraq was establishing a government before we established the basic institutions necessary for democracy to work. He must have been reading this blog.

The global economy would have been much better off if Microsoft hadn't used monopoly power to crush more innovative companies that produced far superior products at a lower cost. The Microsoft apologists apparently weren't watching while Microsoft crushed literally dozens of companies with superior products. The apologists are mistaken. Still, a bad remedy could be worse than the problem. By far the best solution is to break Microsoft into several smaller, competing companies, Babysofts, each with all of Microsoft's technology and source code, and splitting the costumers. Those competing companies would create innovation, partner with innovate companies, bring that innovation to market and create a technological renaissance - the kind of market that Microsoft killed.

More on Hsu's bundled donors for Hillary Clinton, which she is still keeping secret in an attempt to cover up her culpability, and likely to cover up Hsu's ties to the Chinese government.

Rich Lowry explains how Democrats painted themselves into a political corner on Iraq, and how they lost everything to Bush.
